About 20% of children in the United States live in rural
communities, with child poverty rates higher and geographic
isolation from resources greater than in urban communities. Yet,
there have been surprisingly few studies of children living in
rural communities, especially poor rural communities. The Family
Life Project helped fill this gap by using an epidemiological
design to recruit and study a representative sample of every baby
born to a mother who resided in one of six poor rural counties over
a one year period, oversampling for poverty and African American.
1,292 children were followed from birth to 36 months of age. This
study used a cumulative risk framework to examine the relation
between social risk and children's executive functioning, language
development, and behavioral competence at 36 months. Using both the
Family Process Model of development and the Family Investment Model
of development, observed parenting was examined as a mediator
and/or moderator of this relationship. Results suggested that
cumulative risk predicted all three major domains of child outcomes
and that positive and negative parenting and maternal language
complexity were mediators of these relations. Maternal positive
parenting was found to be a buffer for the most risky families in
predicting behavioral competence. In a final model using both
family process and investment measures, there was evidence of
mediation but with little evidence of the specificity of parenting
for particular outcomes. Discussion focused the implications for
possible intervention strategies that might be effective in
maximizing the early development of these children.
